Late Night Pitter Patter

The ferrets were keeping me up last night. Norman Bugbear especially was ringing bars because he wanted to play... and I wanted to sleep. So I wheeled them out in to the living room and went to bed. Norman kept going at it though for a while longer before he suddenly stopped.

I was almost asleep when I thought I heard little pattering on the tile in the hallway. I thought I imagined it at first and then he ran into a wall and it became clear that he was on the loose and I had to get up. Turns out the bottom of the cage had shifted off the base and Norman was loose. I walked out in the hallway and Norman poked his little white head out of Justin's room; he wanted to play 'chase'... I was tired... so I made like I was walking away and he scuttled out to chase me and scooped him up when he got close. I fixed the cage and put him back in before flopping back into bed. Norman stared at me in utter confusion.

I need to get a ferret wheel to tire these things out.
